Is this correct?

Sorry I thought you were buying with the McNamarra axles.

Correct as far as I know.

But it is my understanding that the wheel bearings are closer together on the shorter stub axles and as a result they have a shorter life.

Rover made it even worse with later rovers when they went to unit bearing hubs.

OK i have a set of jmac 24 spline axles to suit a rangie i might be tempted to sell pm me if interested

they were only in the car 6 months

Ok, i finished putting the new diff in today. I can't believe how quiet it is compared with the old one:)
I use standard disco 24 spline axles. I also had to use the stub axles and the hub off the disco for it all to work.
Thanks for the advice.

Now just waiting to try the locker:D

Just let me know when you want to try the locker.

did fixing the front uni solve all the vibrations?
